Facing the setting sun, Meng Tian led his remaining soldiers back to the camp.
Relying on the tip-off from Nuo Min, a descendant of the Moon Wolf who had been secretly persuaded to surrender, Meng Tian learned of Mao Dun's plan in advance - to use Fusu's poisoning to lure Meng Tian into sending troops rashly, and then set up an ambush at a key location to catch him by surprise.
At the same time, Nuo Min was arranged to sneak into the Qin army camp to assassinate Fusu, planning to use a two-pronged approach. Even if Meng Tian did not die in the ambush, he would still have to take responsibility for Fusu's death.
There should be nothing wrong with this plan. Meng Tian had to step on at least one of the two pitfalls - even if he knew something was wrong, he still had to send troops in a hurry for Fusu.
However, due to the rebellion of the key executor, this plan naturally came to an end and had no effect.
Although the enemy's conspiracy has been destroyed, Meng Tian obviously would not miss this good opportunity and chose to use his tactics to ambush Mao Dun's hand.
Meng Tian pretended to see through the plot, pretended to send troops, and set up an ambush in the camp to capture the 'assassin' Nuo Min. Then, under Nuo Min's identification, he led his troops on a medicine-hunting journey according to the route designed by Mao Dun.
Mao Dun had arranged an ambush in advance, and Meng Tian had also prepared reinforcements, intending to swallow up the ambush troops sent by Mao Dun.
There is nothing wrong with this plan. The ambush team sent by Mao Dun will definitely not be too large. He only needs to hold on for a while and wait for reinforcements to arrive to turn the tide of the battle and win in one fell swoop.
Speaking of which, Meng Tian's plan is quite similar to Li Mu's plan back then.
Then this plan... unexpectedly failed.
There was nothing wrong with Meng Tian's arrangement, but he misjudged his opponent's strength.
Morton sent Creon, the alien general he unexpectedly conquered, and his heavy armored infantry.
This heavy armored infantry regiment, which was similar to the phalanx infantry, was very good at dealing with cavalry. Meng Tian had faced him before and suffered a slight loss.
However, at that time, the two sides had just stopped talking and there was no actual confrontation at all, so Meng Tian had no way of truly understanding the difficulty of this army.
Even though he had known about the difficulty of Creon's army from the quicksand information, he still failed to make sufficient preparations.
Only by knowing your enemy and yourself can you win every battle, but he really didn't know much.
So in this ambush and counter-ambush, Meng Tian's loss escalated from a small loss to a big loss.
Even though the reinforcements he arranged arrived in time, they still failed to defeat Creon's army head-on. Instead, he suffered a lot of losses and had to retreat into a peach forest under the guidance of someone to get rid of the pursuers.
As for who helped Meng Tian?
Today, in Beidi, there is only one person who is capable of providing help to Meng Tian.
After Meng Tian returned to the camp, he immediately went to Fusu's tent.
In the eyes of others, he was nervous about Young Master Fusu's condition and worried that the condition would worsen.
In fact, he came to report the situation.
Since you have to pretend, you have to pretend it is in place. Fusu did not act like everything was normal just because there was no one in the camp. Instead, he lay on the bed honestly, with makeup on his face, looking black and blue.
, he is already terminally ill and his days are numbered.
Meng Tian quickly walked to Fusu and knelt down, as if checking Fusu's condition.
There was probably a ghost in the military camp, and neither of them wanted to let anything go.
"Your Highness," Meng Tian first lowered his voice and saluted to say hello.
Fusu opened his eyes to ensure that he could see Meng Tian clearly, and then replied in the same low voice, "It seems that the general's action did not go well."
If he successfully launched a counter-ambush, Meng Tian's face should be somewhat happy, but all Fusu could see now was depression.
But I probably didn’t suffer too much.
Seeing that Fusu could see at a glance that he was at a disadvantage, Meng Tian smiled bitterly and said, "Young Master is laughing at me. The general misjudged the strength of the enemy's army and was blindly arrogant, which led to his defeat."
"It seems that the enemy is very difficult to make General Meng, who was well prepared, suffer a loss?"
Fusu didn't think Meng Tian would misjudge the enemy's strength so easily. He must have encountered an unexpected difficulty.
In war, there will always be surprises. After all, the Wolf Clan is different from the Six Kingdoms of Shandong. The smallest of the latter has been fighting Qin for hundreds of years.
Everyone is too familiar with it, but not the wolf clan.
Meng Tian nodded slightly and replied, "It's the alien army from the Western Regions that Mao Dun accidentally conquered."
"Their fighting style is very unique, and they are quite restrained against the cavalry. Coupled with the unfavorable battlefield environment... the general was almost defeated in the end. Fortunately, he got the guidance of an expert and wiped out the enemy soldiers in time."
"Expert..." Fusu, who was lying down, thought for a moment and thought of the answer, "Is it... the wolf hunter? He is really hiding in the North."
Although the intelligence inside Liusha shows that the Zhao Kingdom Military God is indeed alive and living in seclusion in the North, this has never been officially confirmed by Gu Xun, the only real insider, so there is always doubt.
Only then can it be considered true confirmation.
Even though he had been mentally prepared, Fusu was still a little stunned.
In the past hundred years, there have been two myths among the Qin army. One is Bai Qi, Lord of Wu'an, and the other is Wang Jian, the Marquis of Wucheng.
The former is because he never suffered a single defeat during his military life, his hands were stained with the blood of millions of people, and he earned his own fate as a "human massacre".
The latter was due to the great destruction of the four kingdoms of Zhao, Wei, Yan, and Chu - Wei was destroyed by Wang Ben, but the main force of Wei was defeated by Wang Jian.
Of course, Wang Jian also suffered very few defeats in his life, and the most well-known defeats were all due to Li Mu.
Therefore, most people in the Qin State have a certain degree of reverence and respect for Li Mu - especially the fact that Li Mu died after being stabbed in the back by King Zhao without being defeated head-on on the battlefield, which made him look like an undefeated god of war.
There are no ifs in history. In the eyes of the world, Li Mu just did not lose to Qin. Even if the fight continues, sooner or later he will not be able to hold on...or Zhao Guo will not be able to hold on.
Even Fusu had high respect for this legendary figure, especially since his teacher had high regard for Li Mu.
"What if..." Fusu hesitated, and after thinking for a moment, he sighed softly, "Forget it, since the old general has retired to the north, I won't bother you."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Meng Tian could see that Fusu still wanted to meet the former legendary military god, but he did not make any suggestions.
After meeting with Li Mu, the other party emphasized to him more than once that Li Mu was dead and that there was only one old man left to guard the tomb in the world. This already represented his attitude - no one wanted to see him.
If it weren't for national sentiment, he wouldn't care about Meng Tian's life or death at all.
In this case, it is better not to disturb others if possible.
Of course, if Fusu forced it, Meng Tian would definitely not disobey the young master... Fortunately, Fusu was also a reasonable person.
Meng Tian turned to talk about business, "When the general was avoiding the pursuers, I discussed with the old senior how to deal with that foreign army."
When he heard what was going on, Fusu quickly withdrew his attention and asked seriously, "Is there any result?"
Meng Tian nodded, "That army mainly fights with heavy armored infantry, supplemented by cavalry guerrillas. The style has some shadows of the military soldiers of the Wei Dynasty in the past. Its shields are like a wall and its spears are like a ring."
The soldiers of Wei also have the advantage of being closely connected and capable of both offense and defense, making them seemingly indestructible."
"If the enemy forces a forceful charge, he will definitely die, and if he blindly abandons the enemy, he will be unable to retreat. This kind of army almost takes advantage of the phalanx to the extreme."
"Faced with such an enemy, after much deliberation, it would be most appropriate and simple to imitate the old battle of Maling and ambush the enemy by luring them deep."
"Of course, this is just a bad idea. The best way is always..."
Meng Tian didn't finish what he said, but Fusu knew what was going on.
The Art of War says: The one who defeats the enemy without fighting is a good person.
There is only one best way, and that is to persuade the foreign army to surrender.
The other party was not trained by Mao Dun, but was subdued by him halfway, so he may not be very loyal.
Of course, whether this plan is feasible depends on whether their undercover agent can provide some key information.
But as long as this thing is done, they will have the opportunity to inflict heavy damage on the wolf clan and directly seal the victory of the Northland war.
Despite this, Fusu did not put any pressure on Meng Tian. He just told him, "Fusu is just a layman when it comes to marching in the army. We have to leave everything to General Meng."
"If there is anything you need my cooperation and help with, General Meng can tell you."
Meng Tian lowered his head and clasped his fists in salute, "Young Master, don't worry, I will live up to His Majesty the Emperor and His Highness's trust."
Then, Meng Tian resigned and left.
He had to make preparations for luring the enemy in advance to avoid delaying the opportunity to fight.
He couldn't relax in both strategies and preparations, he had to ensure that he could deal with that difficult foreign army as soon as possible.
………………
Daze Mountain, East County, inside Zuimeng Tower.
In the room where Zhang Han was resting, he was lying on the floor and seemed to be asleep when he suddenly woke up.
The dusk sunlight shines into the room through the windows and is projected on the floor.
Looking at the dim sunlight passing through his fingers, Zhang Han was sure that he had woken up from his dream.
However, his state at this time was not much better than in the dream. He could not lift up any strength, his internal organs were constantly experiencing burning pain, and his mouth and nose were still bleeding outwards - in fact, all the seven orifices were bleeding.
.
The bright red color on the floor is very eye-catching.
As Zhang Han woke up, the damage done to his body by Thousand Spiders Devouring Meng began to be revealed.
The only good news is that Zhang Han's melted body has returned to normal - the first thing he did when he woke up was to check his hands, not even caring about the blood from his mouth and nose.
After confirming that his hands were fine, he wiped away the blood from his mouth and nose and planned to get up from the floor.
But as soon as he mustered up some strength to stand up, he felt a sharp pain in his heart, which made his eyes darken and he fell down again.
Everything in the dream is false, but it is also true.
The sword he stabbed into his heart and lungs just now caused him to suffer a certain degree of injury in reality...probably similar to phantom pain.
At this moment, Zhan Ri's deep voice sounded from behind him:
"Wake up and it won't change anything, but it will make you more aware of how you will die... Maybe it would be better to die in a dream."
Listening to the approaching sound of the sun covering up the sun, Zhang Han struggled and tried to escape. However, at this time, he could not even crawl and had nowhere to escape.
Within a few steps, Zhan Ri caught up with Zhang Han, stepped on his back, raised Zhan Ri, and was about to stab him through the heart:
"Say your last words!"
There was a trace of anger in these calm-sounding words - Zhang Han broke free from the illusion created by Thousand Spiders Devouring Dream, which caught Zhiri off guard.
Although he felt that people still could not escape from his grasp, the aftermath would be several times more troublesome.
After going around in a long circle, he still didn't save the trouble in the end... If he had known better, it would be better for him to kill the person directly!
Zhang Han, who was about to face death, did not show any despair. Instead, he looked back at the sun with a sarcastic sneer on his lips.
As a killer, you talk too much nonsense!
Seeing this smile again, Zhi Ri felt something bad in his heart again, and a spherical object quietly fell from Zhang Han's hand and rolled away, exploding into a cloud of smoke.
This is Zhang Han's smoke bomb.
At this time, the smoke cover cannot play any role, not to mention that the smoke is still a bit biased.
But what Zhang Han needs is not smoke, but the sound of smoke bombs exploding.
Although it is not as quiet as a signal flare, it is enough to produce a fairly loud sound in this silent environment.
I don't know what Zhang Han did by secretly detonating a smoke bomb, but it's definitely not a good thing.
He was about to use the sun-shielding sword to kill Zhang Han with one blow.
At the same time, the sounds of two things breaking sounded one after another.
Click!
Cave pass!
The door was shattered, and a head of white hair flashed out from the wreckage. The jagged blade in his hand gleamed coldly and flew straight towards the sun.
At the same time, a large hole was opened in the roof, and the huge, blindfolded Dian Qing fell from the sky, slashing at the top of Zie Sun's head with the Sky-Suppressing Sword in his hand.
Wei Zhuang's appearance was not expected by Zhang Han, and the ceremony was the reason why he set off the smoke bomb.
He had received information about Dianqing's appearance in Daze Mountain before, but at that time he didn't understand why Dianqing came here - even if Gu Xun arranged help for him, it was impossible to call Dianqing, who was the eldest son's guard.
Celebrate.
It wasn't until he confirmed the identities of the two orphans of Lord Changping not long ago that he suddenly realized the purpose of the celebration.
Therefore, he judged that the ceremony must be near Zuimeng Tower at this moment.
He didn't know why Dianqing didn't save him before, but as long as he made any noise, Dianqing would definitely come to save him as soon as possible.
In fact, there are two reasons why Jianqing did not take action before.
First, the signal flare prepared by Zhang Han in advance attracted a fierce battle between the Shadow Guards and Luo Wang.
Although the two groups of people were fighting outside, he still did not dare to leave Lian Yi and the others rashly.
The second reason is because he didn't realize that something happened to Zhang Han.
After Zhang Han was struck by the Thousand Spiders Devouring Dream, he seemed to be asleep, with nothing strange at all.
His current injuries only started to occur after he woke up, and there were no problems before.
Dianqing didn't notice anything, so of course he wouldn't take action rashly. Otherwise, with the help of Mei Sanniang, he would have been able to escape.
Although the fighting outside showed that Zhang Han's place was probably not peaceful, out of trust in the commander of the Shadow Guards, Dianqing held back for the time being until he heard the noise caused by the smoke bomb.
The fact that Zhang Han almost died silently and silently was indeed not within the expectations of the ceremony.
Fortunately, after realizing something was wrong, his rescue operation was very timely, and Zhang Han's life could be saved even if Gui Gu Zongheng didn't arrive.
